Hampton Roll Call

Less than five days 'til we board the Mothership! Coming in from St. Louis and cannot wait. Safe travels to all!

Leash and Oceans still unplayed....just sayin..

Let it be known that if they play either of these it will shoot right up near the top of all the shows I've seen. Out of the 21 shows I've seen Charlottesville reigns at the top for now, but I would love to see Hampton challenge for the throne!

As much as I would love to hear Leash in Greenville or Hampton, I believe that one might be reserved for the fine governor of NC at the Raleigh show which I cannot make.

Have they ever opened a show with Leash?

Can someone remind me which road(s) in are a mess with construction, delays, traffic? Coming from the philly area, I'm not sure if it's better to drive down I95, or go down the coast and drive inland from Va Beach.

All depends on when you are leaving. What time are you planning to leave Philly?

Great question. Leaving at 7am from Brooklyn. Was contemplating going through Delaware on 13. Any advice? I'd leave earlier but due to some other stuff I can't hit the road till 7.

13 is the safest bet. It's the one most unaffected by traffic, although it isn't really 'fast'. But it's the least likely to run into a problem. VA Beach locals take that route when heading up the east coast.

You could use the NJ turnpike almost thru Del and then take 301 south thru MD into VA as well. I think you can pick up 17 before you hit 95 again. I live south of Annapolis in MD and use this route all the time.

That would work too. Although 301 in Maryland (DC suburbs) can be brutal. If you've gone all the way to 17, you might as well pick up 95 in Bowling Green and then haul ass to Hampton. There are lots of ways, but probably best to stay out of the Baltimore and DC beltways. That's for sure. And never get on 95 until you're south of Fredericksburg.

Thanks for the advice on best routes! Washington DC is always the PITA part of the trip down south. I have time though. I'll be leaving Saturday, sleep somewhere in between and arrive in Hampton on Sunday - then off to Raleigh on the 19th, arrive same day and stay there till 22nd - birthday trip. :bee:

My friend said the same thing to me today(about RT 13 being my safest bet). I'm leaving Sunday sometime during the day, and my friend said that Baltimore & DC could be fucked up, even on a Sunday. (I thought it may not since it was a Sunday, and the Orioles & Nats are on the road that day). As far as time goes=it's 6 of one half-dozen of the other, but going RT 13 is over 40 miles shorter, for me anyway coming from Jersey.

This is my first of many shows and i'm looking forward to this show the most, and not because it's my first show. I've heard great things about shows in the Hampton Coliseum. Great venue with great sound.

Have extra Loge L Row 4 Seat 2 - 84.00 - side/backstage. Putting on public sites tomorrow. Thank you!
